## Resource

SHOW TIME: 5pm-8pm UK Time | 12pm-3pm EST (US) | 9am-12pm PST (US) Show more This week on SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen, covering the biggest stories in the US and internationally. This week we cover the theatrical build-up to a resumption of the US-Israeli war on Iran, including the rather bizarre 'Daily Shooter' media event that took place at last night's White House Press Correspondents Dinner event. Later in the Overdrive segment, we’re joined by teammates Bryan “Hesher” McClain and Adam “Ruckus” Clark, for deeper comment and analysis on this week’s earth-shaking geopolitical development. All this and more on this week’s show. \*SUPPORT OUR FUNDRAISING DRIVE HERE: [https://21w.co/support](https://21w.co/support) Listen to the Sunday Wire every Sunday at 5pm UK Time/12pm EST: [https://21stcenturywire.com/category/sunday-wire-radio-show/](https://21stcenturywire.com/category/sunday-wire-radio-show/) OUR FEATURED MUSIC ARTISTS: The Real Anthem Band: [https://therealanthemband.bandcamp.com/](https://therealanthemband.bandcamp.com/) Joseph Arthur: [https://josepharthur.bandcamp.com/](https://josepharthur.bandcamp.com/) Peyoti for President: [https://peyoti.com/](https://peyoti.com/) Red Rumble: [https://www.youtube.com/@RedRumbleBand](https://www.youtube.com/@RedRumbleBand) Peter Conway: [https://www.peterconway.net/](https://www.peterconway.net/) VISIT OUR AFFILIATE SPONSORS: Health Solutions - Shop at Clive de Carle: [https://21w.co/shop-clive](https://21w.co/shop-clive) FOLLOW OUR TELEGRAM CHANNEL: [https://t.me/My21wire](https://t.me/My21wire) Countdown Music: Song: Cartoon, Jéja - On & On (feat.
